Beautiful Baby of Mine,

I love you!

Congratulations to me!

Today was my last day of the Super Welsh class. Yippee!! I did a two year course in just 10 weeks. It was challenging. It was overwhelming. It was mind numbing. It is OVER...and now I have 3 weeks for lazing about. lol! In January I start the next course and it will be only 3 days a week rather then 5. I am moving on to the intermediate level. Woo! Hoo!

SO...if anyone wants to have a chat in Welsh, just let me know. :P

Christmas Fair

We took the boys to the fund-raising Christmas Fair at Seth's school. I hate these fairs. They consists of different stalls selling junk set up on tables going all around the room and then in the middle there are more tables with games the older students have made. Little walking space for lots of people. Very, very crowded.

Caleb had Morgan in the baby carrier and was holding Paul. He basically just stood off in the corner out of the way. I took Seth and Jason around the tables. So many tantalizing "goodies" within easy reach was too much for Jason to bear. After carrying him out to the bathroom area (because he wouldn't walk) I told him if he whined and cried anymore he would have to go home. Okay, he says. I take his hand to walk back out and join the others. He whines and cries as we go. Sooo, we went home.

We were there maybe 1/2 hour. Caleb put Jason to bed and I took Seth back to the fair so that he wasn't being punished for Jason's behavior. While walking back to school I told Seth he could do one more thing at the fair. He said he wanted his face painted like Geriant's (his friend). So that is what he did.


He was so excited about his face being painted like a snake. It felt really good to make him so happy. We ended up having a fun time even after the "Jason Episode". Me...because I enjoy making my little boy happy. Seth...because he actually enjoyed the fair.

I was hoping the paint would last long enough for Jason to see. I thought maybe the consequences for his actions would sink in a little better...it was gone by morning.

But Seth had one glorious evening as a snake. : )

Chubby Cheeks

• I left class early today for an afternoon tea party my friend Adrianne was having. It was fun...a little bit chaotic...but fun. There were 9 kids 2 and under. Only one of them was mine, though. So I had it easy!

• I have just two weeks left of my Welsh class. They said I would be fluent. Am I? No!
  

• According to Seth "Pow Ainjers" (Power Rangers) are cool. lol!

Say Cheese!

Paul and his over-enthusiastic cheesy smile!
